Background

On 22 July 2011 Norway was subjected to two terrorist attacks by a right-wing extremist. The first attack was an explosion from a car bomb against the Government Building (GB) in Oslo. The second attack occurred less than two hours later at a summer camp on the island Utøya, outside Oslo, where 600–700 young members of the Labour Party hold their annual summer camp. The car bomb killed 8 people and 69 persons were shot and killed at Utøya. All seriously injured patients came to Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål (OUH).
